Section 1 – General
This airplane is equipped with an Avidyne p/n 700-00182-XXX
IFD5XX Integrated Flight Display (IFD) and /or Avidyne p/n 700-
00179-XXX IFD4XX Integrated Flight Display. Both part numbers
may be referred to in this document as simply IFD.
The IFD contains a GPS (SBAS) receiver (all IFD models), VHF
Nav/Com transceiver (IFD440, IFD540 and IFD550) and processing
to accomplish control, display, navigation and input/output to other
avionic systems. The IFD 545 and IFD550 include an internal ARS
and are capable of displaying attitude information and ego-centric
synthetic vision (SVS).

GPS/SBAS TSO-C146c Class 3 Operation

The IFD4XX and IFD5XX has airworthiness approval for navigation
using GPS and SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System
complying with ICAO Annex 10) for IFR en route, terminal area, and
non-precision approach operations (“GPS”, “or GPS”, and “RNAV
(GPS)” approaches). The IFD4XX and IFD5XX are approved for
approach procedures with vertical guidance including “LPV” and
“LNAV/VNAV” and approaches without vertical guidance including
“LP” and “LNAV”.

The IFD4XX and IFD5XX comply with the requirements for GPS
Class II oceanic and remote navigation (RNP-10) and (RNP-4)
without time limitations. A second navigation source may be required
for these operations to meet availability requirements.
